Description

BRIGHT, SPACIOUS and QUIET, this corner 2BR/1BTH home of nearly 1000sf has three (3) walk-in closets and is, by far, the best buy on the Upper East Side! Open the door to a gracious and generous 32’ living/dining room, ideal for entertaining or just relaxing at home. Off to one side is a windowed eat-in kitchen as well as a good sized second bedroom/home office.

Off to the other, are two walk-in closets and a primary bedroom that can easily accommodate a king-size bed. Throughout is C/A/C, thermal pane windows and floors in excellent condition. Especially appealing is the option of adding W/D and half bath (with Board approval).

When the low maintenance is factored in, you know immediately that this is a great package.

But wait!! There’s more. The River House, in excellent shape both fiscally and physically, is just steps from the 79th Street Promenade and Carl Schurz Park. It is a luxury, well-managed building with friendly staff and live-in resident manager.

Included are: 24-hour attended garage, bike room and generous laundry room with new washers/dryers. Hallways, elevator cabs and main lobby have all been recently renovated without the need for an assessment. With Board approval, pets are welcome as are guarantors, gifting, and parents co-purchasing with children.

This may be one of the most sound purchases you will ever make!!!
